Write the value of n for which nth of the A.P.s 3, 10, 17, ... and 63, 65, 67, ... are equal.
Let nth term of A.P. 3,10,17,… be an
And nth term of A.P. 63,65,67,…be a’n
So,a1=3 and a2=10
∴ d=a2-a1=10-3=7
And, a1’=63 and a2’=65
∴ d’=a2’-a1’=65-63=2
Now, an=a1+(n-1)d
=3+(n-1)7
=3+7n-7
=7n-4
And, an’=a1’+(n-1)d’
=63+(n-1)2
=63+2n-2
=2n+61
Now,it is given that an=an’
∴ 7n-4=2n+61
∴ 7n-2n=61+4
∴ 5n=65
∴ n=13
